“The guard looked down at the scarlet bloodstains blooming on his chest. He appeared to think of something that he needed to say, but as his lips began to form the words, his knees gave up the strain of supporting his ruined bulk. He collapsed to the floor, his throat issuing a final sound like a bubbling casserole.”
R.D. Ronald, The Zombie Room

A.S. Byatt
“To a dusty shelf we aspire.”
A.S. Byatt, Possession

Pat Conroy
“Good writing is the hardest form of thinking. It involves the agony of turning profoundly difficult thoughts into lucid form, then forcing them into the tight-fitting uniform of language, making them visible and clear. If the writing is good, then the result seems effortless and inevitable. But when you want to say something life-changing or ineffable in a single sentence, you face both the limitations of the sentence itself and the extent of your own talent.”
Pat Conroy, My Reading Life

Lois Lowry
“No one had told her what “birth” meant.”
Lois Lowry, Son

Richard  Adams
“My heart has joined the Thousand, for my friend stopped running today.”
Richard Adams, Watership Down
